Axis enables remote monitoring for Guangdong-Jiangxi Expressway
True remote monitoring with network video
“A major advantage of the Axis system is that it is very flexible, allowing customized deployment, integration and interaction according to actual conditions. This is definitely a better system than the previous analog one.”The engineering party of the project
Mission
The Guangdong Segment of Guangdong-Jiangxi Expressway is located in Heyuan City, which stretches across 136 km throughout the city. It is a completely closed crossroad expressway designed with dual four-lane carriageway and the designated driving speed is 100 km/h. An analog video monitoring system had been adopted for expressway monitoring in the past. But with the current requirements for sharing real-time expressway and tollstation information, as well as IC card interaction, the system quickly showed its limits. Such requirements could indeed only be met by a network video solution.
Solution
The company decided to use 75 Axis network cameras and video encoders (the latter to migrate the analog system to network video), combining network video information with IC card plate information via the fiber network of the toll station. The system was also combined with the toll information collector and could interact with card punch. When somebody is paying, the camera is triggered for recording so as to monitor whether the actions of the collector are appropriate. As a result the monitoring center can keep track of toll attendant behavior and the vehicle flow of each toll station. This also enables better management of information flow.
The system is provided by an Axis Application Development Partner (ADP) in China. The video solution has enabled remote management of the electronic information monitoring system.
Result
The previous system only enabled the management of the toll stations. The monitoring could only provide auxiliary roles and complete management of vehicle flow was not possible. The new system can not only enable surveillance of the vehicles, but also management of vehicle flow, as well as statistics of vehicle flow information and peak load shifting. It can shift any emergent traffic peak and enable any necessary shunts. Electronic plate information report has played a decisive role, greatly saving working time, cutting down costs and saving on storage space.
The solution has great flexibility and can be deployed according to the actual situation of various toll stations. Finally, the expressway company’s ability in handling incidents was greatly improved, offering assistance to decision-making for follow-up tasks.
The head of the information department of the expressway company said: “Our objective is to implement a high-quality network-based information monitoring system enabling the monitoring management center to invoke the IC card numbers of each toll station and watch the video on one platform, thus improving the security level and enabling network-based decisionmaking. The Axis network video solution has completely satisfied our requirements. The flexibility and convenience of the network monitoring system makes deployment based on the actual situation of each toll station possible, meeting the different requirements.”
